Abstract

Objectives: Recent research contradicts the earlier contention that language skills are superior to general cognitive skills in Williams syndrome (WS). In fact, there appears to be a wide range of language comprehension skills in WS. This study was designed to identify possible predictors of language skills in WS and in a typically-developing control group. It was hypothesized that “working memory” would be a strong predictor of language comprehension performance. A diverse body of evidence supports the contention that “working memory” may serve as a critical cognitive resource for language processing.
